I think it's totally normal. My 9 mo old only takes 4, 6oz bottles per day. He eats 3 jars of stage 3 baby food also, but if your baby is getting the cereal in her bottle as well then she's probably getting the same amount of calories. If she were hungry she would eat more or wake up at night for feedings. I think it's totally normal every baby eats differently. If your Dr isn't worried then you probably shouldn't be either. Good Luck

She hasn't outgrown her GERD yet? My daughter had it also, for about four months. But she did eat well. It was just hard on her afterwards and we had to hold her in an upright position for 30 mins after each feeding. Typically, a 9 month old would be eating more than that. Is she waking at night for a bottle? I don't understand the cereal in the bottle for the GERD? Is her bottle really thick? Is she able to drink it very well? Also look at her growth. Is she growing consistently? Is she very small at all? This certainly would be something your ped would recognize immediately. I tend to lean towards this not being enough food. But all babies are different. If you are uncomfortable, find another pediatrician.
